According to all U.S. census records available
Nathan and Solomon Gottstein are brothers. When the family first came to America they lived in Des Moines, Iowa.
Shortly after the father passed away, the family moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota
where they spent the rest of their lives. I found the cemetery where Nathan,
his wife, and Solomon are buried. I have communicated with the
cemetery office who brought to my attention that the tombstones have different
father’s name. I have spent the evening trying to figure this
out I have used all the usual sites we, genealogists look at. But I
am missing something Your thoughts, suggestions, ideas would
be appreciated.
The father, Louis Gottstein died in 1910 in Des Moines but I was unable to find anything on
his death or a cemetery for him. The mother, Sarah is on all the census records
as widow and as far as I can tell never remarried. She is buried in the Minneapolis area. The
family is from Lithuania
and immigrated in 1910.
Thank you for all suggestions and helpful ideas that you
might be able to give me.
